I'm looking to buy a diamond for a solitaire engagement ring and at the moment I'm looking at a few different options.

There's three stones that I'm deciding between and would be very grateful if you could comment on their images. They're all AGS000 and I think they would all perform well but I'd like to get the best I can I terms of light performance. I'll include all the pictures I can get, please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks a lot :wavey:

All are fine.
 
Your best bet would be to call the vendor who has the stones...ask them to pull the 3 stones and talk you through them. Since they can see them with
their eyes they will be able to tell you/give you the fine detail on the stones. I'm sure they would be happy to help you narrow it down to the one that
best fits your wants/needs (most sparkly, most fire, brightest , etc...of course these will all be excellent performers so you are down to the fine details of the stones.)
 
All look fine to me. The vendor (who I am guessing is a PS favourite) will definitely be able to assist you in your final selection.

FWIW, I'd prefer either #1 or #3
 
Thank you for the responses! Would you prefer one over the others if you had to choose?
 
I like fat arrows (and I cannot lie) so I'd go for #1 because it looks to have the fatter arrows. But it's really flip a coin for me on them, they're all lovely.
Which one do you like the look of the most?
 
I prefer number #1 just a smidgen more than #3. Arrows are slightly fatter and it just looks slightly more optically symmetrical than #3 to my eyes.
 
1 or 3 as well for me. I'd weigh the other specs (carat, color, clarity) to make the call.
 
I would need to see the GIA/AGS reports and prices to pick between these
 
#1 would be my winner.

Are they all the same carat, color and clarity?
 
Thanks guys, I also have a slight preference for the first one. The ASET seems to be slightly more uniform and (I might be wrong) but I just noticed the longer "Vs" between the arrows in number 3, which (from what I read in another thread) could indicate painting.

There's a few other ones I'm looking at right now but good to have an input on these images. It's also giving me a bit more confidence in that I'm on the right track ;)
 
#1 would be my winner.

Are they all the same carat, color and clarity?
They're the same carat and price but one's a G VS1 and the other one's a F VS2. I'm still deciding on which combination I would prefer.
